When the Jacksonville Jaguars took running back Leonard Fournette with the No. 5 overall pick, fans immediately had high expectations for him. Good Morning Football host and former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson does too. He recentlypredicted Fournette to be offensive Rookie of the Yearand amass 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns.

I know those are big numbers, but I’m looking at the talent surrounding him and what Blake Bortles hasn’t had in that offense, what they are going to need to make it more productive and more importantly the wide receivers. If they can take that next step forward, it would take the pressure off of Leonard Fournette. I’m looking forward to these guys being in games more often where they will need to control the ground.

Afterward, Burleson’s co-host, Peter Schrager, pointed out the prediction would be similar to Ezekiel Elliott’s rookie numbers but noted the Jags don’t have the offensive line the Dallas Cowboys do. Still, Burleson stuck with his prediction and stated he believes the offseason’s additions on the offensive line should be enough.

When looking at the acquisitions, Branden Albert and Cam Robinson should especially help in an area the team struggled with in 2016: run blocking. Ultimately, it will be on the coaching staff to figure out what combination of linemen to use with the limited training camp snaps they’ll receive. Once that is addressed, maybe fans can better calculate and predict Fournette’s outlook in 2017.
